SEOUL, South Korea–(BUSINESS WIRE)–AhnLab Inc. (CEO Hong-sun Kim, www.ahnlab.com), a leading provider of integrated security solutions, today announced that the Korea operations of Citibank has joined a client roster which includes many of the world’s most famous banks including Citicorp Banamex and Banco Santander. These banks and others turn to AhnLab Online Security (http://aos.ahnlab.com, AOS) for the very best in online banking protection.
To bolster its online banking security, CitiBank Korea (www.citibank.co.kr) has adopted the four key products which comprise AOS: AOS Secure Browser, AOS Anti-Virus/Spyware, AOS Anti-Key Logger, and AOS Firewall. These products act in harmony to block even the most sophisticated intrusion attempts such as web modulation and memory hacking. With AOS defending against cybercriminals, CitiBank Korea is expected to provide highest level of protection for its customers against all kinds of threats such as ZeuS –the most market-threatening malware today- and any other malicious codes. The AOS Secure Browser acts as an impenetrable fortress against dangerous threats, by blocking access to the allocated memory area and running all online transactions in a contained environment.
In 2007, Banamex(www.banamex.com), a leading Mexican bank and CitiGroup subsidiary, also implemented AOS to protect client personal and financial information as online banking began to boom. While the boom led to enhanced consumer convenience, it also opened doors for cybercriminals as evidenced by large-scale phishing attacks against banks. Protected by AOS, Banamex was the only bank to defend against these attacks successfully, drawing worldwide recognition for the bank and AOS.
Banco Santander Hispano Cetral, S.A, with 10,000 branch offices and subsidiaries across Spain, Portugal, Brazil, Mexico, Chile and other countries, is another world-leading bank who has chosen AhnLab for its online banking security needs. As part of a multi-year agreement, Santander has been utilizing AOS at its Mexico branches since 2007.
Different from traditional detection-and-elimination methods utilized by other security products, AOS is a real-time internet banking protection and prevention security solution effective against an array of malicious hacking tools. The impenetrable AOS Secure Browser starts automatically as soon as a user logs on to an online banking site, in conjunction with the Anti-Key Logger, Firewall and Anti-Virus/Spyware programs. This unique approach to internet banking security renders ineffective even the most malicious codes such as Zeus and its variations. More information on AOS can be found at http://aos.ahnlab.com.
